Really beautiful work.
What type of steel did you use for the screws and are those copper tips or brass?
Keep the pictures coming. It helps to motivate me.

Thanks Ed
To be honest i have no idea what grade of steel i used ,,
just the first bit i picked up ,,,,,,,, more than likely it was some grade of mild steel ,,,,,,,,,, The tips are Copper .I should also have added i have Nickel plated these parts ,Another one of my side projects i have been working on ( i have a few side projects ,all part of some master plan ,,,,,,,,,, I think
) ,,,Any way i am trying the process out on these parts before i have ago on the real job .![[Image: normal_P1040677.jpg]](http://www.nam-engineering.com/cm/albums/userpics/10002/normal_P1040677.jpg)
